Is washing bottles in a dishwasher an effective way to sterilize baby bottles?

Washing bottles in a dishwasher is not a reliable method for sterilizing baby bottles as it might not guarantee the elimination of all harmful bacteria. Sterilization requires specific methods and temperatures to ensure effective disinfection. It is generally recommended to use a steam sterilizer, boiling in water, or using specialized sterilization systems to ensure baby bottles are properly sterilized.
